Microsoft’s range of Surface Pro laptops has been successfully positioned as a viable alternative to Apple’s MacBook Air. They deliver a touchscreen user experience with powerful computer processing and a sleek, ergonomic design. The latest Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, launching June 18, build upon the fundamentals established by the early models, incorporating game-changing artificial intelligence to take the concept to new heights.
The flagship Surface Laptop begins the upgrade with an extended battery life capable of optimal performance throughout the working day, significantly improving the new Surface Laptop 7. With up to twenty hours of video playback and 86% faster performance, it’s geared toward the most demanding user scenarios and professional workflow.
Thanks to its supercharged NPU, the Surface Laptop represents an industry-leading standard for productivity, capable of an outstanding 45 trillion operations per second. It’s also exceptionally thin and light, weighing just 1.34kg, while sporting a crisp and vibrant full HDR display.
The same NPU processing power incorporating the latest AI technology has been utilized in the Microsoft Surface Pro, which brings Snapdragon® X Elite and Plus processors to optimize its impressive performance fully. An OLED touchscreen delivers a cinematic display on the move, and it can fully connect to multiple monitors for more complex workflows.
The Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Laptop showcase the new generation of Windows 11 in all its glory. The manufacturer promises performance that outspeeds the MacBook Air M3 by up to 58% thanks to the new Arm-based processors and taking portable computing to the next level.
